[Guy fleury]

Hi Ludo,

Ok Je vais repondre en français.
Comme je l'ai dit plus haut lorsque je suis dans l'interface de gdm je click donc mon compte pour entrer mon mot de passe et je suis rediriger sur cette page(voir la photo attacher).

J'ai testé gnome ça marche très bien.

J'ai un mini laptop acer aspireone la machine virtuelle est trop lent.j'utilise donc guix system reconfigure.

Dit moi si vous voyer bien la photo.
Merci.

Yes, there error above is harmless; it occurs when upgrading from a
relatively old Guix.

I don’t think we explicitly tested GDM with MATE, but it should work.
What problems did you have with MATE specifically?

Note that it’s usually easier to test these things in a VM, with ‘guix
system vm’.

Thanks,
